I am not a heating engineer (or plumber)All radiators have a feed and return, yes you do "break in" but you actually have it connected in paralel

Before adding permanant heating to your conservatory you should read this:

PS, I won`t tell anyone if you don`t but it might not help when you come to sell the house.

Might be doing myself out of a job but in a conservatory I'd install an electric fan heater,one that can act as a warm air heater in the winter and a cold air fan in the summer.
